This study aims to reduce the false alarm rate due to relief displacement and seasonal effects of high-spatial-resolution multitemporal satellite images in change detection algorithms. Cross-sharpened images were used to increase the accuracy of unsupervised change detection results. A cross-sharpened image is defined as a combination of synthetically pan-sharpened images obtained from the pan-sharpening of multitemporal images (two panchromatic and two multispectral images) acquired before and after the change. A total of four cross-sharpened images were generated and used in combination for change detection. Sequential spectral change vector analysis (S2CVA), which comprises the magnitude and direction information of the difference image of the multitemporal images, was applied to minimize the false alarm rate using cross-sharpened images. Specifically, the direction information of S2CVA was used to minimize the false alarm rate when applying S2CVA algorithms to cross-sharpened images. We improved the change detection accuracy by integrating the magnitude and direction information obtained using S2CVA for the cross-sharpened images. In the experiment using KOMPSAT-2 satellite imagery, the false alarm rate of the change detection results decreased with the use of cross-sharpened images compared to that with the use of only the magnitude information from the original S2CVA.

To solve the problems of existing method of change detection using fully polarimetric SAR which not takes full advantage of polarimetric information and the result of false alarm rate of which is high, a method is proposed based on test statistic and Gaussian mixture model in this paper. In the case of the flood disaster in Wuhan city in 2016, difference image is obtained by the likelihoodratio parameter which is built using coherency matrix C3 or covariance matrix T3 of fully polarimetric SAR based on test statistic, and it becomes a reality that the change information is automatic extracted by the parameter of Gaussian mixture model (GMM) of difference image based on the expectation maximization (EM) iterative algorithm. The experimental results show that the overall accuracy of change detection results can be improved and false alarm rate can be reduced using this method by comparison with traditional constant false alarm rate (CFAR) method. Thus the validity and feasibility of the method is demonstrated.

The traditional method of constant false-alarm rate detection is based on the assumption of an echo statistical model. The target recognition accuracy rate and the high false-alarm rate under the background of sea clutter and other interferences are very low. Therefore, computer vision technology is widely discussed to improve the detection performance. However, the majority of studies have focused on the synthetic aperture radar because of its high resolution. For the defense radar, the detection performance is not satisfactory because of its low resolution. To this end, we herein propose a novel target detection method for the coastal defense radar based on faster region-based convolutional neural network (Faster R-CNN). The main processing steps are as follows: (1) the Faster R-CNN is selected as the sea-surface target detector because of its high target detection accuracy; (2) a modified Faster R-CNN based on the characteristics of sparsity and small target size in the data set is employed; and (3) soft non-maximum suppression is exploited to eliminate the possible overlapped detection boxes. Furthermore, detailed comparative experiments based on a real data set of coastal defense radar are performed. The mean average precision of the proposed method is improved by 10.86% compared with that of the original Faster R-CNN.

In this paper, we propose a novel approach based on the active contours model for change detection from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. In order to increase the accuracy of the proposed approach, a new operator was introduced to generate a difference image from the before and after change images. Then, a new model of active contours was developed for accurately detecting changed regions from the difference image. The proposed model extracts the changed areas as a target feature from the difference image based on training data from changed and unchanged regions. In this research, we used the Otsu histogram thresholding method to produce the training data automatically. In addition, the training data were updated in the process of minimizing the energy function of the model. To evaluate the accuracy of the model, we applied the proposed method to three benchmark SAR data sets. The proposed model obtains 84.65%, 87.07%, and 96.26% of the Kappa coefficient for Yellow River Estuary, Bern, and Ottawa sample data sets, respectively. These results demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed approach compared to other methods. Another advantage of the proposed model is its high speed in comparison to the conventional methods.

In order to improve the contrast of the difference image and reduce the interference of the speckle noise in the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image, this paper proposes a SAR image change detection algorithm based on multi-scale feature extraction. In this paper, a kernel matrix with weights is used to extract features of two original images, and then the logarithmic ratio method is used to obtain the difference images of two images, and the change area of the images are extracted. Then, the different sizes of kernel matrix are used to extract the abstract features of different scales of the difference image. This operation can make the difference image have a higher contrast. Finally, the cumulative weighted average is obtained to obtain the final difference image, which can further suppress the speckle noise in the image.

For wide application of change detection with SAR imagery, current processing technologies and methods are mostly based on pixels. It is difficult for pixel-based technologies to utilize spatial characteristics of images and topological relations of objects. Object-oriented technology takes objects as processing unit, which takes advantage of the shape and texture information of image. It can greatly improve the efficiency and reliability of change detection. Recently, with the development of polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR), more backscattering features on different polarization state can be available for usage of object-oriented change detection study. In this paper, the object-oriented strategy will be employed. Considering the fact that the different target or target's state behaves different backscattering characteristics dependent on polarization state, an object-oriented change detection method that based on weighted polarimetric scattering difference of PolSAR images is proposed. The method operates on the objects generated by generalized statistical region merging (GSRM) segmentation processing. The merit of GSRM method is that image segmentation is executed on polarimetric coherence matrix, which takes full advantages of polarimetric backscattering features. And then, the measurement of polarimetric scattering difference is constructed by combining the correlation of covariance matrix and the difference of scattering power. Through analysing the effects of the covariance matrix correlation and the scattering echo power difference on the polarimetric scattering difference, the weighted method is used to balance the influences caused by the two parts, so that more reasonable weights can be chosen to decrease the false alarm rate. The effectiveness of the algorithm that proposed in this letter is tested by detection of the growth of crops with two different temporal radarsat-2 fully PolSAR data. First, objects are produced by GSRM algorithm based on the coherent matrix in the pre-processing. Then, the corresponding patches are extracted in two temporal images to measure the differences of objects. To detect changes of patches, a difference map is created by means of weighted polarization scattering difference. Finally, the result of change detection can be obtained by threshold determining. The experiments show that this approach is feasible and effective, and a reasonable choice of weights can improve the detection accuracy significantly.

Intrusion detection systems were used in the past along with various techniques to detect intrusions in networks effectively. However, most of these systems are able to detect the intruders only with high false alarm rate. In this paper, we propose a new intelligent agent-based intrusion detection model for mobile ad hoc networks using a combination of attribute selection, outlier detection, and enhanced multiclass SVM classification methods. For this purpose, an effective preprocessing technique is proposed that improves the detection accuracy and reduces the processing time. Moreover, two new algorithms, namely, an Intelligent Agent Weighted Distance Outlier Detection algorithm and an Intelligent Agent-based Enhanced Multiclass Support Vector Machine algorithm are proposed for detecting the intruders in a distributed database environment that uses intelligent agents for trust management and coordination in transaction processing. The experimental results of the proposed model show that this system detects anomalies with low false alarm rate and high-detection rate when tested with KDD Cup 99 data set.

In this paper, a novel change detection approach based on multi-grained cascade forest(gcForest) and multi-scale fusion for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images is proposed. It detectsthe changed and unchanged areas of the images by using the well-trained gcForest. Most existingchange detection methods need to select the appropriate size of the image block. However, thesingle size image block only provides a part of the local information, and gcForest cannot achieve agood effect on the image representation learning ability. Therefore, the proposed approach choosesdifferent sizes of image blocks as the input of gcForest, which can learn more image characteristicsand reduce the influence of the local information of the image on the classification result as well.In addition, in order to improve the detection accuracy of those pixels whose gray value changesabruptly, the proposed approach combines gradient information of the difference image with theprobability map obtained from the well-trained gcForest. Therefore, the image edge information canbe enhanced and the accuracy of edge detection can be improved by extracting the image gradientinformation. Experiments on four data sets indicate that the proposed approach outperforms otherstate-of-the-art algorithms.

The Difference

Unsupervised change detection approaches, which are relatively straightforward and easy to implement and interpret, and which require no human intervention, are widely used in change detection. Polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR), which has an all-weather response capability with increased polarimetric information, is a key tool for change detection. However, for PolSAR data, inadequate evaluation of the difference image (DI) map makes the threshold-based algorithms incompatible with the true distribution model, which causes the change detection results to be ineffective and inaccurate. In this paper, to solve these problems, we focus on the generation of the DI map and the selection of the optimal threshold. An omnibus test statistic is used to generate the DI map from multi-temporal PolSAR images, and an improved Kittler and Illingworth algorithm based on either Weibull or gamma distribution is used to obtain the optimal threshold for generating the change detection map. Multi-temporal PolSAR data obtained by the Radarsat-2 sensor over Wuhan in China are used to verify the efficiency of the proposed method. The experimental results using our approach obtained the best performance in East Lake and Yanxi Lake regions with false alarm rates of 1.59% and 1.80%, total errors of 2.73% and 4.33%, overall accuracy of 97.27% and 95.67%, and Kappa coefficients of 0.6486 and 0.6275, respectively. Our results demonstrated that the proposed method is more suitable than the other compared methods for multi-temporal PolSAR data, and it can obtain both effective and accurate results.
